Steel X45CrSi9-3, 1.4718 – description
S65007 is a heat-resistant and creep-resistant silchrome steel used mainly in the automotive industry. It is very similar to X40CrSiMo10-2, but it has smaller molybdenum content, thus it is less resistant to heat and creep in high temperature. The difference is about 50 °C.
Steel X45CrSi9-3 is:
- Valve material
- Resistant to some kinds of gas corrosion
- Hard
- Noticeably resistant to abrasion
- Heat-resistant to 850 °C.
- Creep resistant to 600 °C.
Applications
This alloy is widely used for:
- Diesel engines exhaust valves
- Other internal combustion engines exhaust valves
- Heavy duty inlet valves in cars and motorcycles
Physical properties
The general physical properties of the steel:
- Electrical resistivity: 0.9 μΩ*m
- Density: 7.62g/cm3
- Specific heat capacity: 460 J/kg*K

X45CrSi9-3 - heat treatment and plastic working
Following parameters are recommended for working and heat treatment
Working: Forging at 900-1150 °C. Heat slowly. Ash or diatomaceous earth cooling.
Heat treatment: The manuals describe several heat treatment processes.
- To achieve 25-35 HRC: Soft annealing at 870 ℃, water or air cooling > Hardening at 1050 ℃, oil or air cooling > tempering at 690 ℃, air cooling.
- To achieve 40-45 HRC: Soft annealing at 870 ℃, water or air cooling > Oil hardening at 1050 ℃, oil or air cooling > tempering at 550 ℃, air cooling.
Improper processing may result in room temperature brittleness.
Welding
N08330 is rarely welded, it is hard but possible. Pre-heating and post-annealing is necessary.
